This is a thinking person's story. If you are looking for a shallow sex or a physical BTB story DON'T READ THIS. It does contain sex and adultery as well as some payback.
I think this is an original storyline. I haven't read all the stories here so if this isn't an original concept, I apologise in advance both to the author and for wasting reader's time.
I enjoyed writing "Grim Reality'. This is an attempt to write a cheating wife story that is exactly opposite.
Once again set your review dictionary to English (Australian) rather than English (US) and hopefully all the blue and red squiggles will disappear.

Lisa Mallow sat at a table in the back corner of the coffee shop gazing lovingly at her boyfriend Frank Morecomb.
"God you're beautiful Lisa."
Lisa blushed demurely and looked down at the table. She felt like a teenager again. It felt good. Some of the happiest days of her life were when she'd been in her late teens. Being pursued by multiple men and getting to decide which ones were going to catch her. She felt the tingling in her groin. Oh yes Frank was going to catch her today.
"And I love your new boobs."
"Ah, so that's it, we have been working together one day a week for two years and you ignore me. I get a boob job and all of a sudden you're interested."
"I can't help it if I'm shy Lisa. For two years I have lusted after you but your boobs are driving me crazy and I can't help myself."
Frank reached across the table and enfolded both Lisa's hands in his own. "So beautiful, how about we skip the afternoon at the warehouse and find a motel?"
Lisa had guessed this would be the result of meeting Frank today. She quickly thought about when her next commitment was and decided she easily had five hours free. Enough for the leisurely lovemaking her excitement craved. With a tremor in her voice she said, "OK."
At that precise moment her phone, lying on the table, gave the distinctive chime of an incoming text. Automatically she disengaged from Frank and read it.
'What would your husband think of you holding hands with another man like that?'
In an absolute panic, Lisa searched the faces of all the other patrons. No one she recognised and no one paying her any attention. She walked out into the street, glancing both ways. Nothing. She thought to herself, "It must have been someone walking past who saw us." Checking the view from outside, into the shop, she could see Frank at their table clearly. "Shit, how could I have been so careless?"
She walked back into the shop and sat down. Frank was reading the message on her phone.
"Sorry Lisa, I know we agreed not to show any affection in public but I couldn't help myself. Who is the message from?"
Lisa reads the message again. "Unknown number. Shit, my mother has an unlisted number."
She quickly rang her mother's house phone. "Come on, please answer."
"Hello, this is the Jones residence, Shirley speaking".
"Hi mum, I just rang to make sure you are still coming to dinner tonight."
"Of course we are sweetie."
"Is Dad there?"
"Yes, of course, he's having his afternoon nap right now. Do you want me to get him to ring you?"
"No that's fine mum, I'll speak to him tonight, bye."
With a sigh of relief, Lisa hung up. Now who else did she know with an unlisted number? No one sprang to mind.
"My wife has an unlisted number, you don't think it could be her do you?"
"I don't think so, how would she know my number or about my husband. Shit, if word gets back to Dave, I'll be devastated."
"You've never told me anything about your family. I know your sister works with us on Fridays, who else is there?"
Lisa talked about her 17 year old twins, Jason and Julie. How, to stop the bleeding after their birth, the doctors had effectively sterilised her. With no small amount of guilt she told Frank about her husband, Dave. How he was the one and only love of her life and she would be devastated if he discovered her feelings for Frank. Frank of course asked the obvious question.
"So why me?"
Lisa hadn't asked herself that question. She paused for thought.
"Just boredom I suppose. After 20 years of being a housewife I just miss the thrill of being chased. Dave is a wonderful husband, father and lover but takes me for granted. I love how you make me feel, the thrill of something illicit. I suppose I wouldn't get that thrill without some risk. I've been a good girl for 20 years and became just another invisible mother. After my boob job two months ago I became aware that men were looking at me with lust again and I wasn't invisible anymore. It gives me such a buzz."
They then talked about his family. His wife and two sons. The poor state of his marriage. How his wife's father was rich and how Frank ran one of the small divisions of his father in law's company. He felt like a figurehead and began volunteering in the charity warehouse out of sheer boredom. He didn't reveal that he'd made two previous extramarital conquests from amongst the lonely housewives that made up most of the rest of the staff.
The text forgotten, Frank again suggested a motel. But with the mood broken, Lisa begged off with promises of phone calls and emails. At the very least they would meet again next Friday.
On the way home she pondered again who could have sent the text. She thought of every family member, friend and acquaintance and discounted them all one by one.
When she checked her phone next, there was a new message. It must have arrived when she was driving. Again it was from an unlisted number.
'Well done.'
That night as she made dinner she prayed again that no one had told Dave. Their marriage was rocky enough as it was. The past six weeks particularly. That was when Dave first mentioned marriage counselling and when their sex life took a nose dive. The fact that it was six weeks ago that she and Frank stopped being acquaintances and started meeting socially outside the warehouse was not lost on her. She interrupted dinner preparations to send a text to Frank telling him she thought they should stop their friendship developing for a while.
During the evening, while trying to act completely normal around Dave, her parents and the twins, she surreptitiously searched Dave's face for any clues. She almost panicked when she thought she caught Dave looking at her strangely when he thought she wasn't watching. Her immediate conclusion was that someone had told him about today. It must have been today as she'd been careful never to be seen touching Frank before. No one saw Frank and her sneaking into a motel or one of their houses. It hadn't happened.
She realised that no amount of thrill could possibly be worth risking her marriage and resolved to break off with Frank.
Over the next week there were several text and email exchanges between Frank and Lisa. Frank tried to break her newfound resolve but was forced to agree to cool it for a while. Lisa desperately thought of ways of testing Dave's knowledge without admitting to anything. She couldn't. With a history of blood pressure problems in her family, Lisa tested herself weekly. She noted she was up 10 points this week.
She wasn't sleeping well and like many deprived people was getting obsessed with it. She told herself, the following Friday morning, that was why she'd knocked Dave back last night when he snuggled up against her in bed and started to caress her buttocks.
"For god's sake Dave, just let me sleep."
Dave then rolled onto his back, obviously angry.
